Jonath198, I think that you are mistaking SP for REM Atonia. SP is when you literally cannot move your body even though you are completely awake. REM Atonia is just the natural way your body keeps you from falling off the bed, so to speak. It is also a good thing if you can learn how to tell when you are falling into the deeper states of sleep. Usually falling into a deeper state (for me) is my ears ringing more noticeably, my body feeling more numb, having less control of my body and my mind wandering very easily and being distracted. Also, you shouldn't train yourself to RC every half hour or so by looking at a clock or having an alarm. That way you become dependant on the clock/alarm and in your dreams you won't RC unless you happen upon some alarm/clock. You wouldn't be able to recognize either of those in a dream anyway so early on. Just do it randomly throughout the day and being skeptical of the reality of your world. Start questioning everything, like "Where was I 5 minutes ago?" and "Is this a realistic conversation people would be having?"
